I don't wish to sound like an Ayn Rand fanatic, because I'm not, but it about time Atlas Shrugged. The socialist leaches must be starved of the blood that sustains them.

As long as the police and other parts of the security apparatus are aligned with the "looters", the only viable option is to leave the scum to their own devices. Soon enough, they will devour and be devoured by their own.

If nothing else it would be something entertaining to watch on the news :) But I think you are on the right track and if something drastic does not change there I only see it getting worse.

That is exactly what I have done. I've shrugged. I'm not interested in doing anything that results in taxable income anymore. I'm not going to break any laws, I'm just going to restrict my activities to those things that can bring me wealth that is not subject to taxation. Barter is one way. Growing your own food is another. Buying and fixing up houses and then selling them for a profit is another tax free way to create income, at least until the greedy bastards take that one away.

But I've decided that I'm sick to death of working hard, so that most of what I earn gets taken away in taxes. Even WORSE is the fact that the money stolen is then used against me in in every way you can imagine. It's used to teach treason and Bolshevism in the schools. It's used to buy SWAT gear for the local PD so they can terrorize little old ladies. It's used to give free medical and dental and food and housing and education and "cultural support" to tens of millions of people who shouldn't be here in the first place. Not that I can get any of those services, of course. They're only available for the people who BROKE THE LAW by coming here in the first place! Isn't that neat?

It just goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on.

So screw it.

I quit.

There is, as of yet, no law that says that I have to work hard just to support the government. So now it's all about working just a little as possible to keep body and soul together, and let the government choke on it. Let some other sucker work themselves to death so that the government can take most of it. I've shrugged.

And if the Marxist bastards do pass a law forcing me to work, no problem. I'm good at figuring things out. I'm sure I'll find a way to make little problems very big problems. Soon they'll send me home just to get me out of their hair.

You cannot enslave an unwilling mind.
